Elizabeth Taylor: Her Place in the Sun
Author(s): Cindy De La Hoz
Spotlighting all of Elizabeth Taylor's films over the course of her 70-year career, this book includes hundreds of never-before-seen photos, from studio portraits to candid on-set moments. She was called the most beautiful woman in the world, but Elizabeth Taylor was far more than a pretty face - she was one of the greatest actresses Hollywood has ever known. From her first success in "National Velvet" when she was just 12 years old, to her stunning performances in "Suddenly", "Last Summer", "A Place in the Sun", and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" to her Oscar-winning role in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" And beyond - Elizabeth Taylor showed herself to be a force to be reckoned with. Elizabeth Taylor is a film retrospective that spans her 70-year career, featuring production histories, "behind-the-scenes" stories, and reviews for each film. With hundreds of rare photos, it's a dazzling tribute to an incomparable movie star.
